T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 9360 is launching nationwide on September 28 for $79.99

As if hungry BlackBerry fanatics can’t get enough of the highly popular Bold 9900 right now, which seems to be selling well despite its hefty $300 on-contract cost, T-Mobile is going ahead with their plans to launch the BlackBerry Curve 9360.

For those lucky enough to be business customers, exclusive pre-sales for the handset begin today, September 21st. However, for all the rest of us, we’ll have to wait until September 28th when the handset is launched officially nationwide through T-Mobile stores and select dealers.

What’s the damage for this new one? Well, unlike the Bold 9900, it’s priced reasonably at $79.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate, with your signature on a 2-year agreement obviously. Initially, only the black color finish will be available from the onset, but an exclusive merlot color will be available starting on October 12th.

With this affordable smartphone, it features things like a 2.4” display, 5-megapixel camera with flash, video recorder, and Wi-Fi.
